Hi all, after an update Firefox will not let me drag and drop attachments into my emails anymore (I have to manually go through the attach option). I use Microsoft outlook and am on Windows 10. I tried using troubleshoot mode to see if it was an add-on but the problem persisted. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you!

I cannot log into certain web sites using Passwords with Firefox. Yesterday I was unable to upload an invoice on the Kensington.com site. Today I am totally blocked in my city's municipal web site. https://www.newtonma.gov/ I am trying to report a missed recycling pickup at their "301" site on the front page, and I have an account, but it will not accept the existing passwords and trying to change it blocked any further efforts, giving me a dead end by saying any password I use with Firefox is invalid. It's not all sites but it is some sites. The problem occurs with both Firefox 99.0 and Firefox99.01. Using it on a Mac running Big Sur, 11.6.5

I recently bought a new computer will W11. I've set FF as the default browser and email provider- at least, I thought so. Let me explain. Whenever I get an attachment It keeps asking me what do I want to use to open it. You will see from the screen shot FF is the default provider. I also checked W11 default apps and FF is set as the default mail provider. So I'm confused as to why it keeps asking me what provider I should use. I would appreciate anyone's comments. Thanks

What are the UserAgent and oscpu strings sent by Firefox 99 running on macOS 12.3.1 Monterey?

I would like to know how macOS 12.3.1 Monterey is described in the userAgent and oscpu strings by Firefox 99. If you have Firefox 99 running on macOS 12.3.1 Monterey, type "navigator.userAgent" and "navigator.oscpu" on the Web Console of the Firefox (more explanation later) to obtain their values locally. (It is April, 2022, now. If you happen to read this post months or years after this was posted, and if you have newer versions of macOS and Firefox, you are welcome to report the newer values together with the versions of macOS and Firefox.)

I would like to know the default values of userAgent and oscpu, but NOT your own customized values of them. To check whether you have customized them, type "about:config" (without quotes) (followed by Enter) into the address bar of Firefox, and type "general.useragent.override" (without quotes) into the Search Preference. If the "Boolean", "Number" and "String" radio buttons and the "+" button appear, then that means that there is no custom value created for "userAgent". If there is a custom value for "userAgent" and if you wish to delete it to restore the default value, then click the Trash Can icon on the far right of "general.useragent.override".

For oscpu, type "general.oscpu.override" (without quotes) into the Search Preference. Then, do likewise as userAgent.

Once it is verified that there are no custom values for userAgent and oscpu, then it is time to obtain their values by Web Console. Open the Web Console as follows.

   Menu button > More tools > Web Developer Tools > Console


When "Web Developer Tools" opens, a row of tabs appear:

   Inspector  Console  Debugger  Network  Style Editor ...


Select the Console tab, which is the Web Console. Once the Web Console opens, then, at the ">>" prompt, type "navigator.userAgent" (without quotes) followed by Enter. Its value is displayed. Also type "navigator.oscpu".

There is another method to obtain the values of userAgent and oscpu, without Web Console.

   
userAgent: 
oscpu: 
   <script>
   document.getElementById("userAgent").innerHTML = navigator.userAgent;
   document.getElementById("oscpu").innerHTML = navigator.oscpu;
   </script>
   

Copy the above HTML code, and paste it into a blank document of text editor, and save it as plain text with the name "navigator_values.htm". [edit: I tried to present an HTML code above. However, this web page does not properly display the code. It dropped most of the code.] Make sure that JavaScript is enabled on Firefox. Open "navigator_values.htm" with Firefox, then the values of userAgent and oscpu are displayed.



For "navigator.userAgent" and "navigator.oscpu", you might want to see the following.

- https://docs.w3cub.com/dom/navigator/useragent

- https://docs.w3cub.com/dom/navigator/oscpu.html

Thank you in advance.

I want to be able to close Firefox and have all cookies and site data removed - but I want to keep my history.

Checking the box to do just this in 'Privacy & Security' will delete cookies when I close Firefox - but all the site data remains. Under 'History' I have 'use custom settings' enabled, as well as 'remember browsing and download history'. I've tried various permutations of this, but can't get it to do what Firefox says it will.

Being able to do this is one of the main reason I want to use Firefox, but it doesn't seem to work. I have to manually delete both cookies and site data.

Any suggestions to try to delete cookies and site data when Firefox closes, but remember history?

Hello, if I'm running 101.0a1 (2022-04-15) (64-bit) nightly, does that mean this version will be in the 101 release (5/31/2022) or the 102 release (6/28/2022)

The reason I'm asking is that the minimum TLS 1.2 restriction (no override in the error page) was previously stated as being part of the 102 release. Here is my original question

Release Schedule: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar

Just would like to know for sure, if possible, thanks!

Whenever I click on a web search link that goes to Facebook, my Firefox browser back button is cleared. This makes it impossible to go back to my original search easily.

When I remember and notice, I open link in new tab to retain my history.
This started happening several months ago and can be frustrating when doing deep searches.
 I hope there is a security setting I am missing that is allowing Facebook access to my browsing history!
Thanks for your help!

When I have resistFingerprinting set to true, closed captions on certain sites where the feature is active (I think it specifically happens with HTML5 canvas image data, but I could be wrong), change colour. Is this intended? If so, is this configurable? It's quite annoying and makes for less readable text most of the time when trying to watch content. This specifically happened on Wakanim.tv for me. Once I turned off resistFingerprinting, it went away again. Some example are in the attachments.
